FAV Fans,
The virus has returned with a vengeance after most states relaxed restrictions, causing the case numbers and death toll to spike. We will get through this. It reminds me of dark times amidst sectarian violence in Baghdad. The hits kept coming, for servicemembers and the Iraqi people. It seemed like a never-ending spiral of death and violence. In times like this I found that the human spirit needs hope, something to cling to. We need to actively look for the silver lining. Emotionally, the bad experiences seem to weigh on us more than the positive ones boost us. Hope requires a level of activeness, many times achieved through gratitude. Expressing gratitude each day for the blessings we enjoy can lead us back to hope. For many, the losses have been shocking. Reach out to those in grief and help buoy them. Acts of gratitude and empathy will lift your own spirit in the process. Your family and colleagues will appreciate that you did too.
With gratitude,
Steve
HI Steve,
Thank you for the message. I hope you are all well. These are some unsettling times for everyone. I am trying hard to stay positive and make lemonade out of lemons for the boys. One thing that this virus has brought us is family time. Not running off to events, games and activities allowed us to reconnect. It also allowed us to get a TON of home projects done…lol! Stay well and be safe.
